Labor leader Leodegario “Ka Leody” De Guzman is one of 10 running for the presidency in the May elections. His socialist views are not the usual sound bites people hear from other candidates.

While disappointing, the decision was not a surprise to those who sought to invalidate his candidacy.

Campaigning for the upcoming May 9 elections will be like no other in the country's history because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Filipinos will vote for a new set of national and local leaders amid a raging pandemic that has claimed more than 50,000 lives, nearly crippled the economy, and challenged the competence of incumbent officials in addressing the public health crisis.

The former magistrate made the declaration in a 1Sambayan online forum on Jan. 6.

Some 572 aspirants vying for national positions in the 2022 elections filed their certificates of candidacy (COC) from Oct. 1 to 8 at the Garden Tent, Hotel Sofitel in Pasay City.

“One lesson I learned from 2004 is never to run as an orphan”.

“Buong-buo ang loob ko ngayon. Kailangan nating palayain ang sarili mula sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon. Lalaban ako, lalaban tayo!”
